Each seed has to go through the process of seed germination before they become a plant. With the right temperature and amount of water, the seed should start germinating within a couple days. The oxygen and water…

An Investigation of the Effects of Cytokinins during the Germination of Brassica rapa Seeds Germination is a vital stage in a plants life, but it also plays a significant role in other animals’ (including humans) life cycle. It is the process in which a new plant grows from a seed. Due to the fact that plants are autotrophs; they use the process of photosynthesis to transform sunlight and make their own food. Germination occurs in gymnosperms and angiosperms when the seed is using its own…

protecting the quality of soil, water, air, and biodiversity. 2. The basics of ICM - Plant care and nutrition management: + Using the high-yielding and disease-free seeds of good crop varieties + Ensuring planting density to promote the yield potential of varieties + Assuring adequate, and reasonable supply of fertilizers + Applying a watering regime, which is scientific and proper to requirements for plant growth. - Plant pest management Applying control measures of integrated pest…

Why Leaves Turn Color in the Fall Diane Ackerman wrote the essay Why Turn Color in the Fall to remind us that like leaves we too will eventually fall and change from “one beautiful state into another.” (196) In her essay, Ms. Ackerman uses vivid word choice, strong verbs, allusion, and definition to get her point across. Ackerman uses personification to bring her essay to life. In this essay, we learn how and why leaves change their color. She explains that after summer “a tree reconsiders…

I stand and gaze at the magnificent American Oak towering tall and proud over me. It's hard to imagine that only two-hundred years ago, it was just a seed planted in the minds of men living in thirteen colonies. This seed was planted by men like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. When this small American Oak seed finally broke through the surface it was stained crimson with the blood of thousands who sacrificed their lives for the tiny seed. It was not hard for those men who died, and those…

water, they will begin to decompose and cause bacteria to grow in the water switch kills the plant. Plants use sugar as a source of energy. Gardeners believe that mixing a bit of sugar in the water will make them grow better but in some cases that are not true. Plants grow in an uncontrolled environment can handle this sugar, but many “plants grown outside of soil in controlled environments… younger plants may…

entrusted into the educational system to accomplish this development of a contributor to the society. Envision a tree seedling, started in a nursery, planted and tended with all the proper items needed for it to grow, flourish, and mature into the plant it is purposed to be. Temperature, light, nutrients, space. Ideally each seedling would be provided the proper amount of each of these requirements based on its individuality. So too a child attending a school should be provided with all the…

Seed Germination Introduction Germination is a key event in a plant’s lifetime and controlled by two main factors which are water and salt stress (Yuan et al., 2016 and Vallejo et al., 2010). Salt stress affects plant growth and crop production by causing osmotic and ionic stress in plants. Alonso-Blanco et al in 2009 reported that less study was made on the traits in Arabidopsis thaliana despite the immense genetic variation present in the species and the importance of seed adaptation to salt…

Diego awoke early one morning with the heat of the sun beating down heavily on him. He squirmed, enjoying the pleasant warmth. The Amazon was always humid throughout the year, but in the high trees, however, it stayed cooler because of the constant shade. For Diego, though, he prefered the steady beat of heat on his back. Diego stayed motionless for some time, hidden in a clump of light green leaves. Gradually, he slithered out beyond the vegetation, and looked out upon the thick, green tree…

There are only two reasons anyone from the village seeks the heart of the forest. Either they are afraid of death, or they've come to seek it. There in the darkness is clearing filled with light, no matter the weather of the world beyond. There in the bright clearing is a small hut, its thatched roof laced with flowers in ever bloom. There in the hut is a girl whose heart-shaped face is streaked with ash. Three harsh lines that run wild down the center of her otherwise delicate demeanor. On the…
